Starting a new small business? Whether students complete the entire program requirement leading to degree status or simply take selected courses to satisfy an immediate need, the program gives students an awareness of the unique demands placed upon today’s small businesses and their owners.

Note: Some of the core (semester 1 and 2) courses in this option differ from those of the other majors within the Business Administration department. Entrepreneurship courses are only offered once a year in the semester indicated (semesters 1 & 3 are fall, 2 & 4 are spring). Many courses have prerequisites that students should take into consideration when they plan course schedules.
